Here's Why Fans Of Miley Cyrus Think That "Flowers" Is About Liam Hemsworth

Fans of Miley Cyrus believe that her new song "Flowers" makes multiple references to her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. Additionally, the upbeat new song and accompanying music video, the first preview of what to come from the singer-songwriter and former Hannah Montana star's upcoming album Endless Summer Vacation, was released on Friday. In "Flowers," Cyrus, 30, reflects on a previous relationship and asserts that she is capable of doing for herself what her ex-partner accomplished for her.  Furthermore, as soon as the song was released, fans on social media started equating its lyrics with certain instances in Cyrus' ten-year romance with Hemsworth, 33.

Cyrus and Hemsworth got hitched in December 2018, separated in August 2019, and then divorced in February 2020. Here's why fans believe that Cyrus alluded to a breakup in the lyrics and music video for her song "Flowers":

1. Hemsworth's birthday fell on the same day that the song and music video was released—January 13

Miley Cyrus first announced the release date via social media on Dec. 31, 2022. She later explained that technically it will release on Jan. 12 in the United States and that it'd be out at 11 a.m. in Australia, Hemsworth's home country. Following this, one Twitter user wrote: "The original announcement was Friday, Jan 13. Usually, they get released midnight ET. Not her going out of her way to make sure it gets released on Liam's birthday in Australian time." [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Image credit: Insider[/caption]

2. The first stanza of the song appears to make reference to the couple's home burning down in a wildfire in 2018

Reflective lyrics about a former romance and how it ended open "Flowers." Cyrus may be alluding to the Woolsey Fire of 2018 by singing, "We were good, we were gold / Kind of dream that can't be sold / We were right 'til we weren't / Built a home and watched it burn."

3. The lyrics of "Flowers" seem to respond to Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man"

When the song was dropped, fans started comparing the lyrics of "Flowers" to Mars' 2013 hit, which they believe Hemsworth once dedicated to Cyrus, though no official confirmation of this speculation has been made.

4. In the music video, Miley Cyrus sports an enormous suit that resembles the one that Hemsworth once wore alongside her

Some online fans compared the huge black suit that Cyrus is wearing in one of the scenes of the "Flowers" video to Hemsworth's attire from the Avengers: Endgame premiere red carpet in 2019. And although the outfits don't precisely match, some have hypothesized that the ensemble may be a nod to a popular video of the couple being photographed on the red carpet in which Cyrus pretends to lick Hemsworth.

5. One of Cyrus' dance moves in the teaser video for the song seemed to reference another red carpet-appearance by the ex-couple

Before the song's official release, Cyrus shared a video of herself in one of the beautiful Los Angeles sites featured in the music video for "Flowers." She can be seen swinging her shoulders and swaying her behind as she strolls along a deserted street. Fans have compared this to a clip of the couple at the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar party. However, Cyrus and Hemsworth have not responded to rumors that the song, music video, and their relationship are somehow related. On another note, Endless Summer Vacation will be released on March 10 and "Flowers" is currently streaming and for sale.
